Ulubey is a town and district of Ordu Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey, 21 km (13 mi) south of the Black Sea in the Pontic Mountains. The Melet River runs through the district.

Economy

The economy of the district depends mainly on agriculture. Hazelnuts, beekeeping, dairy farming, corn, and kale are the main products. In recent decades the population has declined as people have migrated away to jobs in Turkey's larger cities or abroad, now mainly their grandparents remain.
